Even as that it was a nice try system didnt managed to boot correctly perhaps because system reserve partitions werent correctly placed
350 MB (system reserve) and Win8 OS partition.
But the files for win8 were copied to the hdd and then i booted again form scretahc form USB Win8 installation dvd and magically this time i was presented the HDD partition info. I deleteed the partion created an unallocated space and then windows copied again and booted successfulyl.
Problem was indded solved but iamnot sure how this happened.
It was nice to see though that
a) No Bios update needed
b) No Intel F6 Sata controller drivers needed to be downloaded.
Vista was helpfull because its installation DVD could identify Sata AHCI controller correctly and then i took it from there. but with problem as i mentioned above and BCD invalid and missing popups.
Yes the problem is solved but what happened exactly so we know for next time how to handle this situation.....
